Print Van Paris is a mobile screenprinting van touring around the streets of Paris. People can come aboard our van, choose their medium, (t-shirt, poster or tote bag) design, and their colour of ink they would like to use, and then print away.

When sourcing our ink, we needed something that works great on both textile and paper, is punchy and is easy to wash out without the support of a full studio. Permaset had all our boxes ticked. We are able to offer a wide range of colour variations that look great screenprinted on paper and textile. We also have the ability to use their supercover range with helps make the prints pop out nicely on darker substrates.

As we need to wash out the screens after each print on the streets of Paris we are unable to use any sort of toxic ink. All Permaset inks are eco friendly without any toxic supplements or heavy metal meaning we can use the inks with a good conscience, children and adults are out of harm’s way and we don’t pollute the water supplies of Paris.

We have many exciting new collaborations lined up for this summer so make sure you come and visit us and pull your own limited edition screenprints inside the Print Van Paris.

Joann Berman, artist and Permaset printer in NYC has just graced the cover of New York Cottages and Gardens for her unique, amazing, gorgeous Supercover prints. Below is one of the shots from the spread. Joann is known for her unique imagery – recently using the glow range in the Supercover line exclusively to achieve unprecedented coverage and amazingly vivid prints.

The North American contingent of Permaset Aqua has just announced a printers’ forum for users of Permaset Aqua, Permaprint Premium, and Permatone inks.

We’re happy to announce our new printers’ forum – a meeting place for screen printers and artists using Permaset Aqua, Permaprint Premium, and Permatone water-based screen printing inks from Colormaker. Here printers can ask questions, share experiences, and showcase the beautiful work they are doing with the inks. We look forward to hearing from you! Check out the Forum here.

Permaset printer Erik Romanyshyn from PUSH PULL PRINTSHOP out of NYC just sent over some pics of prints he did for Vocalion records using Permaprint Premium water-based metallics on black foam board. The prints came out beautifully, with strong opacity on a dark substrate.

Utrecht, Netherlands, January 14th, 2014 – Permaset Aqua – the leading water-based screen printing ink for the last 40 years in the Australian market is now available throughout Europe with the launch of screenprinter.eu.

Permaset Aqua, with a cult-like following worldwide in the screen print and serigraph worlds, is now available directly to printers throughout the EU. Screenprinter.eu is a water-based screen printing supply site based out of Utrecht, Holland stocking and shipping full lines of Permaset Aqua and Permaprint Premium, water-based inks.

Known for its unsurpassed opacity and bold, highly pigmented colors, Permaset Aqua is also prized for its unrelenting environmental standards. Permaset Aqua has recently received the rare certification from the Soil Association in the UK – having successfully met the requirements for the Global Organic Textiles Standards (GOTS) for non-organic chemical inputs for use in organic textile processing.

Having worked with other water-based inks, we have found the quality of Permaset Aqua to consistently outrank all others. We have found that in particular, the Supercover line offers a wonderful, bright opaque coverage.
